NE:v Yor k, Sept. 18.-The scenes
about Wall and Dro'd Strces to1day,
reminded ono forcibly of the disas.
trous Black Friday, erept that the
panic to-day was of a, shorter dura
tion, and did not roach the finanoial
proportions of that day. At the
opening of the Stock Exchange, an
army oi brokers ~poured into and
around. Every one wias wild with
exotiomont. The brokers made a
united and terrible charge on the en
tiro liab of stock, which gave away
iith a fearfulcrabh.. Alargins, beams
&o., wore used, and the crowd of bro
k'rs rushed in to save thomselvcs
The seone in the Exchango was equal
ly wild in oharacter, and several
tinies it seemed as if violence would
be resorted to by the bulls who were
fairly maddened by their terrifc
losses. The gallery was crowded
with SpOtators. The gold market

tiuim before noon were equal to the
averago of many ordinary days.
About 11 o'oluck a wild panio etrucl
the morket, and antid tremendous
nales, certain that failures were in.
ovitablo. Certain parties were doing
their best to sustain the market while
the opposition were fighting with a
desperato enorgy. Stocks for the
first two or three hours fluctuated.
Westorn Union fell ton per cent.
without an j)pnrent struggle. The
house of Jay, Cooke & Co., havo sus
penled business. The suspension of
the firm, it in said, will be but tom
porary. All their own obligations
are prov ided for. It is claimed that
the housc he4ld ono million dollars
over their liabilitier on their side.
'ho following arc the particulars,
given by Mr. Fainstock, ' one of Jay
Cooke & Co: I lo says that for several
weeks the uneasy feeling which pro
vailed in connotion with the Iow
railroad schemties, caused heavy draws
upon deposits both in the Philadel
phia and Now York housen. The do.
posits of both cities suffered dontinual
draw3 until at the beginning of the
present month, their cash was lower
than any time during tho severest
stringency during fall and this spring.
Tho draw upon deposits, already so
heavy, was still further increased by
recent suspensfions and the domand for
money was heavy, anhd was folt still
miore severoly in Philadelphia. The
Philadelphia house was compelled to
call upon the New York house for aid,
of large amount, and assistance wa.
rendered. The Philadelphia house
w.as under large advances to the Union
Tacilio Railroad oinpalny, involving
large sums of Imoncy, prevoting thenm
frumi maintaining the reserve ordinari
ly kept ; and they were therefore una
ble to respond to the domand of credi
tors.
to For thisroason they woro unaiblo
advances made, or supply the eel lat
orals available in New York at the
present timio. Owing to this the cash
bills became exhaustedl, and the sus
penisionl became inovitable..
Fainstock said the different memn
bers of the tinns wore posiessed of a
large amount of private and personal
property, but nsono of this was availa
ble in an emergoncy such as the pros,
out. lie was not prcparcd at p resent
to tell the exact aimount of the liabili.
ties or assets of the firm, but be, be
llovedl that all 1ho creditor would be
paid in full, the suspension of the
Now York house would not affect the
eredlit of t he Lonidoni honso of d)ay
(Cooko, iMc~ulough & tie, Their
businecss, he said, is entirely separate
from that of the New York firm, and
heby have mnoreover largo cash suirplus
and their exchange and letters of
credit will not bo injured.
ie said, in conclusion, ho did inot
believe the suspension of the firm.
would necessarily embarrass others;
as their chief creditors wore banks
and bankers.
Mr. Cross, another member of theo
firm, says the suspension is merely
temporary, as that firm is, no doubt,
perfootly solvent. 11o had no idea
wvhant the liabilities amounted to and
the exact figures could not yet be
obtained with any degree of accura
Gold rose rapidly from 111}, the
opening price to 1 12&. There wore
only eleven bids for treasury gold,
aggregating $2,3 17,300, at prices
r~anging from 110 to 1114. it is said
that J. Cooke & Co. Arm short of gold
to the extent of about $6,000, 000.
Th'lat firm bas, within the last few
days, entered into inaportant finan
cial negotiations Wvith numerous
houses, among them being Rlobt. Tiobo
& Co. of Berlin, and Dresden and Al.
bert Frinsdorf, of Iloinburg,.It is also
stated that within the last few days,
they have beeu in negotiation with
Alexander Lemon, of IHanover. Hlalf
past two this afternoon, the suspen
*lon of Robinson & Soydoms, brokers,
was announced in Stock Exchange.
Richard Scholl suspended at Sun
down.
The fact that so few failuresm have
ccurred ou Stock Exchange, is a re
minarkable evidence of strength, and
alnmost without a precedent in history.

Oarrying the War into Afrioa.
A State grange -a boen organized
in Pennsylvania. ia is emphati
cally "carrylbig the war into Africa."
The granges have comnonccd a cru
sado against monopolies and extortion;
and Pennsylvania is the hot-bod of
thesepests. I1ero aro the headquarters
of the Ponusylvania Central Railro ad,
that is doing all in its power to :
press producers. Here, too, Simon
(lameron wields his sceptro over the
huge irou monopolies. Here, too, is
the rottenest political ring in the
wholo United States. The granges
in invading tho onemy's 't'orritory,
and planting their standard in' Fis
very tecth, show an amount of pluck
aud determination that will ensure
sucOss in tho.end.
Ratilroad Oasualties.
Just as tho..publio mind has been
lulled to ropose; after some als-.ster,
it is suddenly roused by some new
and unexpected horror. Wednesday
last we were all shocked by the It
tails of the accident near Stack's
Turnout. The next day a collision
occurred on the Vilmington) Road ;
and on Saturdajn frightful accident
happened on the South Carolira Rail
road by which four souls were hurried
into eternity. Theso tragedies werc
more frightful from being totally un
expected. 1:tilroad accidents attend
ed by loas of life are comparatively
rare in the South, and from this fact
much carelessnes prevails. Careless.
ness was the chief cause of the first
collision. The down train was twen
ty niiintos'bohind at Ridgeway, and
Coiiduotor Orchard determiucd to
make another station before waiting
for it to pass him. The thing had
boon done before. No accident had
happened, and why should it this
attempt sticceed. .lt .was tried. We
know the result. had every precau
tion been taken to soure safety, two
homes would hnt ave been saddened.
The South Caro!ina Railroad aoci
dent resulted 'froiu carelessness.
reavy rains had prevailed, and tho
trILV11 IYOO jI&PLUIJ..1* 14-04-1
neer Brickmurn was exercising soic
precautiton, but not enough, and he
lost his life in consequence.
We trust that the railroad con
panies will prolit by these lessons,
and command the greatest care and
diligence on the -part of their em
ployees. Af'airs are tmaaged too
loosely. When an ofticer in, guilty of
carelessness or disobedienco he should
bo dismissed whether accident result
or not. Th'le law hais heretofore treat
ed on'ending'oflicials in eases of rail
roadl ac'idents with too miuch lenien.
cy. Not autil a few are hanged or
placed in thle penitentiary for causing
the death of their fellow creatures
will these railroad tragocdies'coaso to
shock the public ziun.
. Manufacturos.
Thie queostion of m~anufacturea is
being gonmorallhy agitaited in thoe Southb
iut present. Statihtica prepared by
aroful and neeurate manufacturcrs
~rovo coneclusivoly the advantages
osessed by the South over the
orth, especially in regard to cotton
'aetorie..
O reat saving of ekpenso can be elb.
,ainod by manufacturing cotton at the
placc wvhore it is grown, as is proved
y the flourishing condition of South
3rn mills. WV by then aro there so
row factoieis in the South 1 Several
obstacles exist, but the 'chief 'oause is
thoiwant of enterprise in our people.
They are content to farm year after
year, living from hand to mouth,
over erogbing theinsolves and over
crowding eaclh oth'or, when new ave'
nues of wealth lie unopened in their
midst. It is genorally supposed that
vast capital is required to establish a
factory. This Idea is erroncous. A
factory can be put into operation for
$415,000 that will yield a heavy divi
dead.
Trho people of Fairfld t.hould take
steps to inaugurate a system of man51
ufactures. In our County, at Rocky
Mount, the rapids of the Catnwbat
fuirnmish mngnificent water power. A
canal three miles long, with substtan..
tial looks of stone and brick in fine*
preservation is already there. Them
fall in this distane, is over one A undred
feet, and this, with the ample volume
of water in the river, supplies urn
limited motive power for factories..
The~ County produces, annually, thou
sild,, of hales of cotton that ae
ore killed. Their bodio a could bo
en beneath the water, but wedged
i amid the debris. Mr. B3rickman
aves a wife and eight children.
'he others killed were unmarried.

citizens of the State th' ey feel asurod
that in a few years the city of Colun
bia will psriig forward in the race of
prosperity with other cities of the
South. She is now so cirouiiventei
by railroads that unless, an effort is
.made to enlaigo her resourcos by
factories )or future prosperity cannot
be rapid.. The rise of factories in
her ujidst -ilI bo the increase of her
population ald wealth.
To all who feel a deep interestin
the welfare of our beautiful city and
the prosperity of our imupoverished t
State, wo earnestly appeal. We in
vito all who can subscribc even a
- inglo share of one hundred dcllars
in the company to loa us a helping
hand. Let us meet in fraternal kind
ness the proposition inado by these
Ncrtbor!% gentlenic and it will do
more to create peace, to produce
harmony, comfort und plenty in our
land than anything that has been t
presented since the war. If we fail
ill this projt, the ebaulaes of starting (
factories here will probably be post
ponded for ten years.
